Committed to documenting and amplifying the community-building and urban revitalization efforts in Franklin, New Hampshire, Telling True Stories is an annual week-long, project-based learning workshop on 21st Century journalism taught by Proctor Academy creative nonfiction teacher Tom Morgan. In our recent five-day workshop, the 2022 Telling True Stories group—consisting of five Proctor Academy 9th and 10th graders—conducted 16 interviews, took over 500 pictures, and wrote a dozen stories about the revitalization efforts in Franklin. With a few exceptions, the first drafts of the articles published here on our Medium site were conceived of and written by Proctor Academy students during the workshop. After the workshop, Tom Morgan finished the final drafts, edited the articles for publication, and posted them here.
